Hi

I'm trying to find the baptism record of Georgina Whitman, who was born in  either1882 or 1883

There is no census entry for that name in 1891/1901 and no birth entry

The free 1911 census index has a Georgina Whitman b 1884 living in Holborn but the entry does not match an Essex birthplace and cross matching shows a Henry Whitman - presumably her husband
 
Where did you get her birthyear and birthplace from

Henry Whitman married Georgina Frances Smith in 1907 in Holborn - she died 1933 Finsbury

Georgina Whitman does appear in the 1891 census as lodgers in St Giles in the field, London with her widowed mother Jane and younger brother Walter. Both her mother and brother are born in Farnham, Surrey. Georgina on the other hand is just stated to be born in Chigwell in 1882. The family then appears again in 1901 under the surname King. Jane is now living with a George King and has had a further three children with him but Walter and Georgina are mistakenly given the surname King as well. On the 1901 census Georgina is said to be born in St George the Matyr, London. I haven't been able to find a Georgina Whitman or King in the London area. I hope this makes sense

Did Georgina Marry under the name Whitman?
If so what was her Fathers name and Occp from the Marriage Cert?

I'm not sure if Georgina married or not. I'm finding researching this family very confusing. I suppose a link to a previous post i've made will help a little bit

(In particual Cath151's findings
Although Cath151's findings says Georgina was born in Chipham, on the actual census i've seen it says Georgina is born in Chigwell. I hope this helps.  )

Thanks for that it really helps to have some background.

I tried to find Rosinas Birth Reg but there are a few possibles unfortunately.
Do you have her Birth or Marriage Cert?
Sorry to ask all these questions but trying to establish if she was definitely the Child of George and Jane or if George was Married/Widowed between 1891/1901 Census.

Rosina and Charles are definetly the children of George and Jane King as I have been able to find them in baptism records and I have Rosina's mariage certificate so I know its definetly them. Beyond that it gets difficult. The 1911 census has George and Jane King living with the two youngest children Rosina and Chaley (Charles) and states that they have been married for 25 years meaning they married about 1886. Having since found Jane in the 1891 census as Jane Whitman living with the two eldest children, its more than likely they were together as of 1886. I haven't been able to find a marriage of a George King to Jane Whitman so its likely they never did actually marry.  I thought if perhaps a baptism record of Georgina Whitman was found I might be able to find out her fathers first name and find out when Jane was widowed or unless she actually wasn't widowed and that is her name considering she's lied about being married to George King 
I've really struggled researching this family

I really feel for you.
I cant find a Christening or even a definite Birth Reg for Georgina/Walter.
I will look around again and hopefully overnight when others come on Rootschat a miracle will occur
